Send the zip file (rom) to your SD card, remember do not unzip the zip, and it is better if it is a blanket SD card.

Power off the phone and insert the SD card. Normally you need to press volume- (may be +, depends on your device) and power on button for over 8 seconds to go into the recovery model (Some device will be dark screen, just click the menu button to enter).

You can see some options below, like apply upgrade from SD card/ choose .zip from SD card/ wipe the caches/ wipe the data/ reboot your system. Normally volume -/+ to move, power button to confirm. What we need is to do a double wipe (wipe data & wipe caches) before your flashing, and then choose .zip from SD card and confirm.

If the rom is right, your device will continue and finish upgrading itself. Or you will get a notice like “installing aborted”, which means rom is wrong or the zip is broken. After you reboot your phone, you will get the new system.

card flash- MTK Phones Flashing

*Card flash is easier than cable flash, just step by step, you can upgrade your phone easily. Some devices will not recognize SD card even if you insert it into your phone. You need to do a double wipe first and then start up the phone and send the zip file to your phone storage, and power off to go into the recovery. —MTK Phones Flashing.

I got samsung grand duos i9082 clone with mtk6572 and i9500 according to mtk droid tools device info.
the GPS hardware does not exist when trying to use navigation, No 3G network and can not set into wcdma only GSM is allowed and No Icon GPS on drop down front panel and on location settings as well to turn ON GPS.
Is there any custom rom to fix this issues and will it be install the GPS hardware?

I have tried doing so for the past days, but the problem with my phone is that when I turn it on, the Samsung logo appears and my phone turns off and then again turns on alone and it doesn’t stop until I remove the battery. When I tried to flash it, it kept turning on and off again, causing my PC to think that I’m plugging and unplugging the USB cable.
I have talked to the tech support from fascardtech and at first, they told me to send it, which I refused to, because I knew I’d stay without phone for 2 or more months. They sent me another mail with the link of this website, but they still don’t understand my situation.

hi all, not if it is the right place, but I have a hdc exynos galaxy s4 (real mtk6589) and the GPS did not work, update the rom, talkingmobi.com/hdc-galaxy-s4-i9500-rom-update-announcement and voila phone that will not turn on, then charge him needrom.com/mobile/hdc-galaxy-s4 rom / and if you turn sound, buttons, touch, but do not see anything on the screen, that works with droid explorer android sdk and see the phone on the PC, you think that the error is in the display driver? or the screen is broken?
sensor values ; Main sensor = ov8825_mipi_raw (back to camera), Sub sensor = hi253_yuv (front), LCD = LT050ANKP019A?

Need to install the MTK6589 USB driver. Click auto install.
Extract the flash tool(SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119) to your desktop. Check all the folders must be in English.
Extract the rom you need to your desktop.

Open the flash tool.exe,
1. click on Download Agent and select MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin (Locate it on Sp Flash Folder)
2.and than click scatter loading and move to your rom folder, choose”MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt” file.
All the files below will be ticked.
Click firmware upgrade and now you need to do is to and connect your phone to pc, reinsert the battery (do not start up the phone) and then leave it alone.
When shows a green circle, it is done.

This was my guide for flashing the ROM on my Galaxy HDC Exynos and what I was going on and as I was working out.
1 – Install “msxml6″ accept (in Chinese) until installation.
2 – Install the USB drivers on your PC, in this case Windows was on XP:
a. When you connect the phone via USB and asks us to find the drivers, we go to the directory and install USB_Driver.
b. Reboot your PC to apply the installation.
4 – Use SP Flash Tool to do the flashing of the ROM (I used SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119) :
a. Phone disconnected from USB and battery.
b. I select the “scatter” “Samsung5410_Android_scatter_emmc” from my ROM upgrade, I got an error “Please check the file name you load scatter is legal” and will not let me continue.
c. Seeing that the file name as the text “Samsung5410_Android_scatter_emmc” will not let us continue, rename this to “MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt” (follow the generic instructions in “http://www.talkingmobi.com/mtk-phones-flashing / “and now if we load the list of what has to be loaded into the ROM., a breakthrough …
d. When I select “Firmware Upgrade and plug in the USB cable, seems to start the process but it gives an error and says that the device is a MT6589_S00 and that does not match the firmware.
e. From the above I conclude that I must rename again the “scatter” and put 6589 instead of 6577 and I do “MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt”.
f. Again, I select “Firmware Upgrade” I put the phone battery in its place and plug in the USB cable, I start the process and It followed correctly way to the end, where we get a green circle in the tool. OK!!
g. Unplug the phone USB, power on the phone and miracle! Works!.
5 – End of the process, I run Antutu and it seems to give the correct parameters.
6 – Conclusion: As tell one proverb of my country, It has more traps than a Chinese film!
I hope you find it useful

Something is strange..
Phone is recognized by device manager as preloader usb vcom.
Sp_flash_tool finish the work, green circle appears.
Phone doesnt boot. I press power button but no response.
I repeated the above steps 3 times.
Sp_flash_tool saw that the job has done, but … what job?

It is the ROM? It is the drivers? It is the phone?
I appreciate any suggestions before taking the decission to send the phone back to FCT.
Thanks

charis

From the begining it was the battery. Battery was drained.
Conclusion…
You dont need for the battery to be at 70%.
I made 3 times the same firmware-upgrade-thing almost without battery…
I hope all the rest (I mean the gps, the wifi…)will be ok after this adventure…

I buyed a hdc galaxy s4 i9500 and, as you have said, I must change the ROM with the steps that are showed here (in the USB way, because turning on the phone by pressing the – volume key starts the phone in which itselves name as “factory mode”, but there is no way to install the ROM with the card).

I have made all the steps for the USB mode, but when I came to the step 5, the flash tool recognise my device as “PreLoader USB VCOM (Android) (COM3), but the % bar doesnt start to cout. May you help me? Thank you

1. the combine key depends on the factory, so if volume- and power on is factroy model, then volume+ and power on is recovery model.
2. it is still a driver problem, you need to reinstall the driver again or you need to download the driver and reinstall again.

Does this mean I should not try to apply it with Goo Manager or similar ROM manger applications?
I would be anyway interested to have English menu for the recovery mode. Is there a safe way to replace the recovery or there is an English mode of the current?
